Good to know
- Most visitors from visa-exempt countries (Europe, USA, Canada, Australia and others) need an Electronic Travel Authorisation (ETA) — not a full visa — for stays of up to 6 months. British and Irish citizens do not need an ETA.
- Nationals who are NOT visa-exempt — including Russian citizens — cannot use the ETA and must apply for a full Standard Visitor visa before travelling.
- The Standard Visitor visa (up to 6 months) costs £135. Apply online at GOV.UK, pay the fee (charged in USD, non-Russian card required), then give biometrics at a VFS Global centre (Moscow, St Petersburg, Ekaterinburg, Novosibirsk or Rostov-on-Don).
- You can apply up to 3 months before travel. Official processing is about 3 weeks (15 working days) after biometrics, but in practice it can take longer. A visa authorises travel but is not a guarantee of entry.
- An ETA authorises travel to the UK but is not a visa and is not a guarantee of entry; most ETA applicants get a decision within minutes (allow up to 3 working days).
As a citizen of North Macedonia you must apply for a visa at a United Kingdom embassy or consulate before you travel. Start early: appointments and processing can take weeks, and you'll usually need supporting documents.
